A 74-year-old man who died at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) on Sunday has been confirmed to have died from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Milton Paul is the 18th person to die of COVID-19 in Guyana.
According to the GPHC Public Relations Officer Chelauna Providence, Paul died at the GPHC shortly after he was tested for COVID-19 on July 12. She said Paul was brought to Accident & Emergency Unit of the GPHC and he was immediately placed in the transition ward because he was suspected of having COVID-19 due to the symptoms he was displaying.
The positive test results returned last night making Paul the latest COVID-19 fatality.
